Sale raises $2000

Pearl Beach Craft Group's seventh biennial Craft Exhibition and Sale has raised more than $2000 for CareFlight.

The sale was held over the October long weekend in the Pearl Beach Memorial Hall.

"The two-day event attracted large crowds who enjoyed a festival atmosphere visiting the colourful stalls packed with a variety of individually hand-crafted items, and the younger visitors were entertained with games and face painting," exhibition publicity officer Ms Bev Lapacek said.

"Visitors were complimentary of the quality and variety of items for sale and one said that 'there was something for everyone and that she was doing her Christmas shopping early'."

Ms Lapacek said other charities also benefited from the weekend fair.

Motor Neurone Research received proceeds from the raffle of a pastel Pearl Beach scene by Lorna Oliff.

Proceeds from the raffle of a refurbished Doll's House by Adriana Verduin went to the Woy Woy Women's Refuge.

The two raffles raised in excess $1200.
